In late 2019, Marriott International will launch the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, a concept that combines the Ritz-Carlton luxury resort lifestyle with a freewheeling yachting vacation. The collection features a trio of lavish cruising yachts for voyages from seven to 10 days, each of which would be a 600-foot-long vessel accommodating up to 298 passengers, bunking in 149 suites, each with its own private balcony. Also up on offer are two 450-square-foot penthouse suites, plus each ship will also be available for private charter. Reservations will open in May 2018.
